Off-White x Nike: The History Behind Virgil Abloh's Sneaker Collaborations, Sneakers, Sports Memorabilia & Modern Collectibles

The Off-White x VaporMax was released as part of “The Ten” — a collaborative capsule from Virgil Abloh and Nike exploring ten classic silhouettes through two distinct themes: “Revealing,” featuring hand-cut and reconstructed builds, and “Ghosting,” characterized by translucent uppers. The Vapormax features an “inside out” appearance with a stitched-on tonal Swoosh on the mesh upper and signature red zip-tie.

Product DetailsInspired by Michael Jordan's alma mater, the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'UNC' carries a classic two-tone composition, filtered through Virgil Abloh's unique design prism. The process involves taking a white leather base with dark powder blue overlays and adding embellishments that convey an expressive, handmade quality.

Virgil Abloh presents a relatively straightforward take on Bruce Kilgore’s design with this Off-White x Air Force 1 Low. That isn’t to suggest there aren’t unique details on the reconstructed build: in addition to a mix of ripstop and suede, the upper features taped seams and a white Swoosh attached via zigzag stitching. Exposed foam and misplaced tags appear on the tongue, while ‘LOGO’ inscribed on the heel tab delivers a final meta flourish.

Product DetailsCreated by designer Virgil Abloh, the Air Jordan 1 x Off-White comes in the classic Chicago colorway. Some of the sneakers' half-finished features include a Swoosh connected to the shoe with visible blue stitching, 'Air' printed on the midsole, and an Off-White zip tie on the collar.

The Off-White x Air Max 90 ‘Desert Ore’ represents yet another of Virgil Abloh’s fanciful takes on the retro silhouette. Unlike its stark black and white counterparts, this pair features a mixed-material upper dressed in a warm tan shade. A stitched-on in Swoosh in Bright Mango is joined by the usual Virgil flourishes, including a blue zip tie and lines of printed text on the medial side.
